'l IMPROVEMENT IN MOTH-BOXES.

Speciiication forming part ofLetters Patent No, 215,700, dated May 20,1879; application filed Marchi?, 1879.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, Dr. HERMANN WEIDEN-BUSCH, of Wiesbaden, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new andImproved Chest for Protection against Moths, of which the following is aspecification.

In the accompanying drawings. Figure I is a front view, Fig. II is alongitudinal section, Fig. III is a cross-section, Fig. 1V is a topview, and FigV` is an end view, of a chest embodying my invention.

The chestA consists of a box of any desired size and shape, and madepreferably of tin or galvanized iron. rIhe top edge of this chestis madewith a continuous channeled rim, b, all around, into which a lip orsuitable projection, n, on the under side of the cover D project-s. Thischanneled rim b is provided with a dis-V charge-pipe, c, which may bearranged with a suitable cock, for the purpose of emptying any fluid orsemi-fluid material putinto' this recess in the rim b; and it islikewise provided with a funnel-piece, d, to facilitate the filling ofthe recess or channeled part in said rim b. This channeled rim bisfilled with glycerine, and when the rib n of the cover D is placedtherein the chest will thereby be hermetically closed.

At one end of the chest a small pipe, e, is arranged, passing into thechest, and having its inner and outer ends turned upward. The outer endor branch of this pipe is closed by a suitable cap, g. Into this pipe esulphuret of carbon is put, whereby the interior of the chest,hermetically closed, as above stated, will be iilled with a tine vapor,in which it is imn possible for moths to exist.

Close to the pipe c a perforated partition,-L, which may be made ofwire-cloth, is attached to the chest A, and the remaining part of thechest may be arranged with suitable movable trays or frames t', toreceive the articles to be protected against moths.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A box provided with a continuous channeled rim, b, and suitable cover D,with projecting lip n, iitting in said channeled rim b, a pipe, e, and aperforated partition-plate, h, arranged in the manner and for thepurpose substantially as specified. Y
